Sneaky Introvert Energy Leaks

I’m writing to you today from sunny Puerto Vallarta. I’m here for a little while to escape the icy subzero weather where I live in Canada.

Being a highly sensitive introvert, my environment has a major impact on my energy levels. Unfortunately, so do about a billion other things.

As a fellow introvert (or innie lover), I’m sure you’re all too familiar with introvert energy struggles. It’s frustrating to go through life wanting to do so much more than your limited energy allows.

Take my trip to Puerto Vallarta, for example. I enjoy my time here, but I often feel guilty. I feel like I should be doing more cool, exciting things.

But I also need to save my energy for work. Too much outing and abouting and my creativity levels drop like a thermometer in a Canadian winter.

You might constantly feel a similar sense of guilt, as you try to honor your introvert energy needs while also pursuing your goals.

Sometimes, you feel like you’re doing everything right. You’re spending enough time alone, and taking care of your body and mind. And yet, you still have no energy.

The truth is that you could unknowingly be leaking energy to ‘dead leaves’. Allow me to explain.
